She has really nice poops and they're easy to pick up. She is pooping mountains for a dog that doesn't really eat very much and it looks like she's not digesting as much as she used to, and I've increased her food to keep her weight up. Our dogs are divided when it comes to winter-liking. There was some stir-craziness setting in with the really low temperatures and many feet of snow, but the greyhounds are pretty happy when temps are in the 30s or even high 20s. I didn't realize that. I figured that they're so nekkid that they'd be uncomfortable. That's interesting. Why do you think they do better than, say, boxers (all the boxers I've known really don't like temperatures below 45F or so)? -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Whippets and IGs are both much less tolerant of cold than most of the greyhounds I know, and I don't really think they're any more nekkid than the big guys. But when your Whippet or IG is under the covers with you (this is a requirement), you notice that he or she is radiating quite a bit of heat. So I think it must have more to do with metabolism than comparative nekkidness. And, maybe partially, body size. All my dogs are nekkid dogs. Viva dobe HATES cold. Cala LOVES snow and is pretty cold tolerant (I still do not know how Cala actually came out of Viva because they are polar opposites in everything except appetite). Zipper Pinhead likes snow but he gets cold very fast. When the dog is only 10# it doesn't take much. |

(I still do not know how Cala actually came out of Viva because they are polar opposites in everything except appetite) Well...I'm thinking here of my mother and me...and I'm sure I'm not alone in that comparison... Zipper Pinhead likes snow but he gets cold very fast. When the dog is only 10# it doesn't take much. Definitely not. Teddy Butthead likes the snow, even likes trying to leap through it, but he too gets cold pretty fast. He's 20 lb, so probably lasts a few minutes longer than Zipper, especially when he's in pursuit of a squirrel [hat]. |
